Abstract: The advent of software systems for space exploration and orbital operation has fueled the development of autonomous systems, chiefly because of the time latency in communicating with such systems. The University of North Dakota has just concluded development and is now operating a space orbital system, code named ISSAC (International Space Station Agricultural Camera). This system has two main software components, the Flight Software System (FSS) and the Ground Control System (GCS). This paper chronicles the software engineering experience of developing one of the multiple systems and the lessons learned in applying software engineering principles and models on a project of this importance and complexity.
